Chris Cantell Discusses - Fashion Live: eBay Sells Faked Fashion
by Milota Sidorova
Despite some say it is internet, that has no limits, there are still some black holes in its business area.In case of software services, all seems fair enough. One trouble, one call and smart admin can repair your connection even from his bed. What's real problem is insufficient customer's protection.Although buying all kind of goods is looking more than comfortable, one must understand, costumer can't check the quality by himself or herself. Nor to feel safe, in case of delivery service, moreover when you are citizen of Middle & Eastern European Region, where the quantity still beats the quality. Indeed, those kind of people (for decades living under communistic regime) were used to shut up and not to complain. What a golden mine for ambitious managers from yelling always ambitious West!Returning back to internet on-line shopping, it's more than necessary recently case of fake goods sold out in eBay on-line auction. French based LVMH Moët Hennessy • Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury goods conglomerat has offered its product to well known network giant, that instead of original ones sold out counterfeit goods. Selling faked Dior, Givenchy or Kenzo for more than amazing sum under the name of such prestigious brand, that is what I call & enough risky dirty business. According expectations, LVMH pushed unserious on-line distributor down to the commercial court, complaining that it was hurt by the sale of knockoff bags and clothes on eBay. Luckily, in this case the law stood exactly on the right side and eBay was punished to pay more than $59 M to the fashion company. However, its defenders stoke back declaring, LVMH wasn't simply strong enough to handle new market strategies. Literally, prestigious fashion house wasn't able to stand the opportunity to sell its goods to thousands via images and attractive website offers. Well, think about it twice. Touching, testing and checking the product by yourself can really examine mistakes, never seen via attractive website offers. Maybe I am old school nut, but wasting 5,000 bugs for something I have never seen, is clearly madness no.1.
